Q: Pimples On Butt??? Please Read!!

Here's a summary of my symptoms:

in late august-- I woke up to find two itchy red bumps that seemed like bug bites on my buttocks, one on each cheek. They were really itchy and I figured they'd go away on there own. But it seemed like every other day or so i'd develop 2 more, until I had about 6 of them, mainly on one buttcheek. They were so itchy and annoying. They went away within a week or so, and now they're scars.

A few weeks ago, I noticed a tiny red dot on my buttocks, which didn't seem like a big deal since I get them often. However the next morning, it was larger, filled with puss...And it burst. Now once in a while i'll notice that a tiny red dot will do the same thing--it'll grow ( kind of like a really mature pimple, and heal). This morning I noticed one, put neosporin on it and after a few hours, the size was reduced to almost nothing...Like the red dot it began as.
I thought I might have herpes and got everything checked out and got a blood test, and the results came back as negative.

There are some factors:
a) my roommate has a cat who goes outside..So it might be fleas??
B) but why then, is it only on my buttocks?

Does anyone know what this might sound like? Sometimes ( usually each week or so) I get a tiny pimple, which grows and practically dissappears in a day. And there's not pain....

Sooooooooo...If you know anything or have similar symptoms let me know!!

No Worries.
My sister gets the same thing also. She never used to get pimples on her bottom until she started exercising more. She works out on a bike so the excess sweat was clogging her pores. She told me if she leaves them alone and doesn't touch them at all they go away on there own....Hope this helps.
